1 Gene Mutation, DNA Repair, and Transposition

2 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways Spontaneous mutations happen naturally and randomly and are usually linked to normal biological or chemical processes in the organism. Induced mutations result from the influence of an extraneous factor, either natural or artificial.

3 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways The Luria- Delbrück fluctuation test demonstrated that mutations are not adaptive but occur spontaneously.

5 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways Somatic mutations occur in any cell except germ cells and are not heritable. Germ-line mutations occur in gametes and are inherited. Autosomal mutations occur within genes located on the autosomes, whereas X-linked mutations occur within genes located on the X chromosome.

6 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways When a recessive autosomal mutation occurs in a somatic cell of a diploid organism, it is unlikely to result in a detectable phenotype.

7 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways Inherited dominant autosomal mutations will be expressed phenotypically in the first generation. X-linked recessive mutations arising in the gametes of a homogametic female may be expressed in hemizygous male offspring.

8 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways Mutations can be classified based on type of molecular change. Point mutations are base substitutions in which one base pair is altered.

9 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways Missense mutations change a codon within a protein-coding portion of a gene. A nonsense mutation changes a codon into a stop codon and results in premature termination of translation. A silent mutation alters a codon but does not result in a change in the amino acid at that position of the protein.

11 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways If a pyrimidine replaces a pyrimidine or a purine replaces a purine, a transition has occurred. If a purine and a pyrimidine are interchanged, a transversion has occurred. A frameshift mutation occurs when any number of bases are added or deleted, except multiples of three, which would reestablish the initial frame of reading.

14 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways Mutations can be classified according to their phenotypic effects as: loss-of-function, gain-of-function, morphological, nutritional (biochemical), behavioral, or regulatory.

15 Mutations Are Classified in Various Ways Lethal mutations interrupt an essential process and result in death. The expression of conditional mutations depends on the environment in which the organism finds itself. A good example is a temperaturesensitive mutation.

16 The Spontaneous Mutation Rate Varies Greatly among Organisms Neutral mutations, the vast majority of all mutations, occur in the large portions of the genome that do not contain genes and therefore have no effect on gene products.

17 The Spontaneous Mutation Rate Varies Greatly among Organisms The rate of spontaneous mutation varies by organism but is exceedingly low.

18 The Spontaneous Mutation Rate Varies Greatly among Organisms Recent molecular techniques indicate that the rate of deleterious mutation in humans is at least 1.6 per individual per generation.

20 Spontaneous Mutations Arise from Replication Errors and Base Modifications DNA polymerase occasionally inserts incorrect nucleotides, generally due to mispairing. These types of errors predominantly lead to point mutations. Slippage during replication can lead to small insertions or deletions. (indels)

21 Slippage

22 Spontaneous Mutations Arise from Replication Errors and Base Modifications Tautomeric shifts in nucleotides can result in mutations due to anomalous base pairing.

23

24 Spontaneous Mutations Arise from Replication Errors and Base Modifications DNA base damage by depurination and deamination is the most common cause of spontaneous mutation.

25 Depurination

26 Deamination

27 Induced Mutations Arise from DNA Damage Caused by Chemicals and Radiation Mutagens are natural or artificial agents that induce mutations. Base analogs can substitute for purines and pyrimidines during nucleic acid replication.

28 Base analogs

29 Induced Mutations Arise from DNA Damage Caused by Chemicals and Radiation Alkylating agents donate an alkyl group to amino or keto groups in nucleotides to alter base-pairing affinity.

34 Induced Mutations Arise from DNA Damage Caused by Chemicals and Radiation UV radiation creates pyrimidine dimers that distort the DNA conformation in such a way that errors tend to be introduced during DNA replication.

35 Induced Mutations Arise from DNA Damage Caused by Chemicals and Radiation Ionizing radiation in the form of X fays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays are mutagenic.

36 The Ames Test Is Used to Assess the Mutagenicity of Compounds The Ames test uses four strains of Salmonella typhimurium selected for their sensitivity to specific types of mutagenesis to screen compounds for potential mutagenicity. Strains his - Many carcinogens have been shown by the Ames test to be strong mutagens.

39 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations Bacterial DNA polymerase III is able to recognize and correct errors in replication, a process called proofreading.

40 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations Mismatch repair corrects errors that remain after proofreading. The correct DNA strand is recognized based on DNA methylation of the parental strand. Postreplication repair occurs when DNA replication skips over a lesion and requires homologous recombination mediated by the RecA protein.

41 Post replication repair. Through the process of recombination, the correct complementary sequence is recruited from the parental strand and inserted into the gap opposite the lesion. The new gap is filled by DNA polymerase and DNA ligase.

42 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations The SOS repair system allows DNA synthesis to become error-prone. Although SOS repair is itself mutagenic, it may allow the cell to survive DNA damage that might otherwise kill it.

43 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations Photoreactivation repair removes thymine dimers caused by UV light. The process depends on the activity of a protein called the photoreactivation enzyme (PRE).

44 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations Excision repair involves three steps: removal of the mutation by a nuclease, gap filling by DNA polymerase, and sealing of the nick by DNA ligase.

45 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations Base excision repair (BER) involves recognition of the erroneous base by DNA glycosylase and cutting of the DNA backbone by endonuclease.

47 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations Individuals with xeroderma pigmentosum have lost the ability to undergo nucleotide excision repair.

48 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations DNA doublestrand break (DSB) repair is activated when both DNA strands are cleaved and is responsible for reannealing the two strands. Biotech applications

49 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations Homologous recombinational repair fixes a double-strand DNA break by digesting back the 5' ends of the broken helix to leave overhanging 3' ends that interact with a region of an undamaged sister chromatid to allow DNA polymerase to copy the undamaged DNA sequence into the damaged strand.

50 Organisms Use DNA Repair Systems to Counteract Mutations End joining repairs double-stranded breaks but does not require a homologous region of DNA during repair. Three proteins link to the ends of the broken DNA Error prone repair system
